From the book jacket:
This is a book about politicians, ' says the author. 'But I have tried not to make it a political book. The leaders are varied-some good, some bad. Their relationships with each other, and with the Great Powers, are as mixed as they are themselves. The influences of the US and Great Britain-again some good and some bad-have played and continue to play an important part in their lives. I have apportioned blame for bad government and praise for good government. But primarily I have written of the men themselves, their hopes, aspirations and fears. ' Mr Rickards deals with 23 very varying Caribbean leaders and brings vividly to life the men who are/shaped an increasingly important part of the world.
